It may even be luxuriously comfortable at first. But it is the upholstered furniture measuring up to only highest standards such as "Birchfield'' Guaranteed Upholstered Furniture that continues to be inviting in appearance and becomes even more luxurious as it is used. The frames, the springs, the filling, the upholstery everything about every piece, measures u pto a standard represented for just what they are good and reliable in every detail. And because of manufacturing conditions (being made in one of the most up-to-date factories on the en tire coast) prices are extremely moderate. And too, there is a wonderful diversity of patterns and cover ings to surprise and delight homo furnishers of utterly different tastes and needs and there is a price range so wide as to meet every demand. Because the built-in or hidden construction of upholstered furniture is not always apparent on the surface, and because it is possible for the unscrupulous manufacturer to greatly cheapen it at the expense of wearing quality and satisfaction we here state clearly and concisely standards of materials and workmanship required in every piece of "Birchfield'' Furniture. FRAMES SPRINGS Of fine hardwood selected for straightness of grain, freedom of knots and toughness. The smallest Sofa we make has .10 springs in the seat, all of high quality tempered steel and hand-tied for flexibility and permanence. You may have noticed how the seats and fronts of many sofas sag after a short time. This is often due to too few springs or poor tying. Finely tempered back and arm springs are used varying in quantity ac cording to the model, and every "Birchfield" piece has a sag-proof steel band extending across the front under the seats. Every piece is filled with selected materials. No excelsior or other lifeless material is used in our factory.

COVERINGS V, c Im""' nub' better quality jaequards, tapestries, damasks, frie?.cs, mohairs and other covering materials. These are carefully put on the frames, patterns matched and pile fabrics placed so as to show.the right shading. And last but not least, no boy labor is used to cheapen production costs.
